Background: Meta cognition is a mental process that has a significant impact on other cognitive processes. The conceptualization of meta-cognition differs between the cognitive psychology approach and the psychopathology approache.
Aim: The purpose of this study was to answer the question: Are meta-cognitions efficient or inefficient?
Method: According to its nature and purpose, this study is a review of the literature. By searching the databases of ProQuest, Google Scholar, Springer, ERIC, Science Direct, PubMed, Iran Doc, Magi ran, and SID, a total of 103 articles on the approach of cognitive psychology and the approach of psychopathology in Farsi and English, whose full text was available, was studied.
Results: The theoretical foundations and results of the research conducted in cognitive and developmental psychology introduce meta-cognition as a high-level mental structure that has a positive relationship with a person's learning, problem-solving, creativity, judgment, and global performance. In the psychopathology approache, meta-cognition is viewed as a mental structure that underlies numerous psychological disorders. Research in this field of psychology has shown that meta-cognition has a positive impact on anxiety disorders, mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and somatoform disorders.
Conclusions: The theoretical foundations and research results of these two approaches in psychology indicate that meta-cognition plays a dual role. In cognitive and developmental psychology approache, meta-cognition is a high-level mental process that can enhance global performance when activated. So, meta-cognition is an efficient structure. However, in the psychopathology approache meta-cognition is a cognitive process that, when activated, reduces a person's global performance. That is, meta-cognition is an inefficient structure.
